Clexane injections?

[Peanutchips]

I got the results of my thrombotic risk profile blood test back today and off the back of it my consultant wants me to start clexane injections. I am also starting lubion injections again as well.

Did anyone else take clexane and when did you start taking it? Was it the day you started progesterone? Or day of transfer?

Thanks! Xx

[Patches86]

I started clexane on day of starting progesterone (both in fresh and FET). Will you also be taking baby aspirin?

[Peanutchips in reply to Patches86]

Thanks patches, no they didn’t say anything about aspirin - just clexane injections

Hi Peanut,

I was on aspirin anyway due to my blood pressure but I started clexane on transfer day and carried on with progesterone too xxx

[Peanutchips in reply to CLDxxx]

Thanks again lovely! Was there a reason they said day of transfer? Worried about starting it too early xx

[CLDxxx in reply to Peanutchips]

They didn’t say but the difference may be that I didn’t have any tests to check anything so as they have proved you had clotting then that may be why.

I had taken steroids for my 2nd transfer but couldn’t for my 3rd due to covid so they said I could have the clexane instead. For me it was just another thing thrown in to the mix to help with implantation as well as having a history of previous miscarriages xxx

I had clexane and lubion last round, started day of transfer xx

[Peanutchips in reply to Millbanks]

Thanks again Millbanks! Did they say day of transfer for a reason? I’m worried about taking it too soon xx

[Millbanks in reply to Peanutchips]

It’s just standard protocol with my clinic. Always lubion and clexane for an FET xx

[Peanutchips in reply to Millbanks]

Thanks Millbanks! Xx

I started my injections on transfer day but I read on the internet that for a better effect is good to take them before transfer and baby aspirin 4 weeks also before transfer. Go with what your clinic says. Your test results looked normal, within range? I am curious because I received as well today all my thrombophilia screening results and my blood tests are all normal. I am wondering whether I should take blood thinner or not 🤔🥴 The injections are quite painful and I had massive bruises after that.

[Peanutchips in reply to Ranchu90]

Hey Ranchu, everything was normal except one type of blood clotting thing that was slightly out so they want to put me on clexane to be sure. I’m just worried about starting it too early as it seems lots of people told to start from day of transfer. I wouldn’t take it if your results have come back fine tbough, unless your clinic say otherwise? x

My clinic says injections from day of transfer and aspirin from BFP - good luck xx

[Peanutchips in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Daisy. So they put you on aspirin and blood thinners (clexane)? Xx

[Hidden in reply to Peanutchips]

Yes I am on blood thinners but one called Fragmin which does the same thing as Clexane - and then baby aspirin too it I get lucky! x

[Peanutchips in reply to Hidden]

Everything crossed for you this time lovely! Xx

I started it the day after egg collection or ovulation If doing an FET. I carried on until 12 weeks pregnancy then stopped but because I’m having twins and other factors I had to restart them at 28 weeks pregnancy

My first pregnancy I had to start around 12 weeks and carried in until 3 months after the birth

[Peanutchips in reply to Ivfgotadream]

Thanks so much for this! Were you on clexane or aspirin? Good to hear someone else was on it before transfer, others seem to take it from transfer onwards so I’m worried about taking it too early x

[Ivfgotadream in reply to Peanutchips]

For IVF transfers it was just clexane but when I had my first pregnancy I was on aspirin and clexane at the same time - stopped aspirin at 36 weeks

[Cinderella5]

I was on both of those. I was on aspirin 75 from day 1 of my cycle then moved onto clexane 2 days before transfer and obviously started lubion before that.xx

[Peanutchips in reply to Cinderella5]

Thanks so much again for your help today Cindy! Did you take lubion from the first day of introducing progesterone pessaries? Also any idea why 2 days before transfer? Worried i’ve been told to take it too soon (to add first day of progesterone) xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to Peanutchips]

I wouldnt worry when you start the clexane. Like I said I was on aspirin from earlier which I think is just cheaper and starts the process off. Yes, took my lubion at first dose of progesterone along with a pessary.xxx

[Peanutchips in reply to Cinderella5]

Thanks lovely. I’m on 2 x progesterone pessaries (morning / evening) and a lubion injection in middle of afternoon. Similar to you? Xxx

[Cinderella5 in reply to Peanutchips]

I started off on 2x400mg cyclogest 12hrs apart, with the morning one I did my injection. Then moved up to 2 cyclogest and 2 lubion 12hrs apart.xx

[Jm82]

I was on clexane and steroids, started a few days before transfer. Then was on 150 aspirin too once I got bfpI carried on with clexane all through my pregnancy and 6 weeks after the birth aswell

Xx

[Peanutchips in reply to Jm82]

Thanks lovely! Congrats on your little one 😊 xx

[Rainbowhope]

It was the day if transfer for me.

[Debrakay1704]

I started on day of transfer and for six weeks after my baby was born. Also aspirin all the way through though. Have they told if you have a blood condition? As if so it is something you would need to keep an eye on always, this is what happened to me. Without IVF I may have never known x

[Peanutchips in reply to Debrakay1704]

That’s Debra! They said one of my markers for clotting was ever so slightly raised so they wanted to put me on it as a precaution. As so many ladies are on it from transfer I’m just a little worried that it’s been started too soon. Hopefully I’m just worrying about nothing! Congrats on your little one! xxx

[Debrakay1704 in reply to Peanutchips]

Fingers crossed for you xx

[PenguinBlue]

Hey lovely, I was told to start clexane from the day after EC for my fresh cycles and continue through. So it was 1 day after starting progesterone for me both times. Is there supposed to be a risk taking it too soon ? Xxx

[Peanutchips in reply to PenguinBlue]

Hey Penguin, thanks for your reply. Not that I know of, it just seems so many are told to start on day of transfer that it got me worried that I’m starting too soon. Hopefully I’m just overthinking this! Xxx

[PenguinBlue in reply to Peanutchips]

I know, it’s so easy to overthink in this process as so many clinics do things differently - for the blood thinners though, as they prevent clotting, I don’t think there is any harm taking them earlier but speak to your doctor if it will help put your mind at ease too xxx

[Ruby201]

I’ve been taking Clexane & aspirin since starting Progynova on 2 day of my period on a FET cycle. I have no history of thrombosis but history of miscarriages so am assuming the blood thinners will help with my blood not getting too thick to help with implantation?

[Peanutchips in reply to Ruby201]

Thanks Ruby! All the best for your transfer xx

[ChloeDE]

I was also on lubion and clexane. Started lubion five days before transfer and clexane the day of transfer.I was taking 2x lubion per day and 1x clexane. All the injections do start taking a toll on your tummy. I tried to use my left side for a week then right side for a week to try to give my skin time to recover. I also recommend using arnica cream to help heal the bruising. It was all worth it in the end.

[Peanutchips in reply to ChloeDE]

Thanks for this Chloe! Xx

[Conceivingblee]

Im being put so something similar to clexane and my clinic want me to start 2 days after egg collection. Currently on baby asprin aswell.
